Love Poem: Please Dont Live a Lie

Please Dont Live a Lie

In all the ways you've hurt me, I still will always care,
But I will never allow you to abuse me again, or take advantage of the words I share,
For years I sat and put up with it, and never stuck up for myself,
And now that the roles are reversed, you think your dealing with someone else,
My heart is still as beautiful as it was before,
But this time I will not tolerate you toying with my heart anymore,
If you don't want the honest truth, you can turn your head and go,
Because I love myself now enough to know you belittled my heart for your own ego,
Maybe this will change your heart when you've realized what you've done,
But until you can face me, and be completely honest, just know I'm not the one,
I can love you, but not your behavior, and yet love you enough to let you know,
If you think this is harsh, and you can't love me anymore, than you need to let me go,
And if you leave, I will be hurt, and devastated, and cry,
Because in my heart, I thought I meant more to you instead of living a lie.
